Chapter 4
It is incredible how long can a couple minute be when someone wants for a certain time to arrive.
This was that kind of case during professor Port`s, it was only a couple of minutes before the clock marked 4 while said man was telling about one of his many stories while some students were either waiting or talking with whoever was next to them.
"Is it possible that one can die from boredom?" asked Yang to Blake who was just focusing on her book, "Probably." Was all she replied.
"I forgot I was asking the wrong person." Replied Yang knowing how Blake was.
Yang looked around the room to see Jaune trying to invite Weiss out, with way to obvious results in her opinion.
She then looked to Ruby who was fighting not to fall sleep.
And finally, he looked at Axl sitting next to Ren while talking about something in a really low voice and then saw the empty space where Drake would sit next to his brother.
"I wonder what happened to Drake, he never misses this class." Replied Yang not ever remembering seeing miss one.
Blake eyes stopped reading her book as she eyes the younger brother and the focusing on her book again, "Beats me." replied Blake knowing it had something to do with his condition.
Before Yang could even ask about everything else the clock marked 4 in the afternoon signaling the end of the class, when turned back to see Axl he saw that he was already storming out of the classroom while Ren began a conversation with Nora.
"Lets go." Said Blake getting her attention as they exited the class room while Yang rubbed Jaune head for another failed attempt.
LINEBREAK
Axl stormed in their room and saw that Drake was no longer there and instead went to their meeting point.
He quickly changed clothes took his things and headed to the fountain area where they would meet with the others but first had to pick up someone.
LINEBREAK
"I still can't understand why I could not go with Weiss." Replied Neptune as they walked out of their dorm.
"What? I am not good enough?" asked Yang narrowing her eyes while Neptune raised his arms waving a no while making a forced smile, "Not at all."
"Then stop whining." Said Yang as making him stand firm while Sun just chuckled and saw something.
"Say, why don't we invite someone else?" asked Sun.
"We said that we did not want to involve anyone else but the two of you is enough." Said Blake not wanting to continue talking about it.
"I just thought we could really ask this guy, he seems really reliable." Said Sun making them stop while Blake narrowed her eyes looking at him.
"I already said no, and who is this person anyway?" asked Blake while Sun just motioned his head in the direction behind them making everyone turn around to see Drake sitting on a bench not more than a feet away from them with a raised eyebrow with a different set of clothes being that the reason why they did not recognized.
"Trying to get a more positive attitude by changing colors." Replied Yang with an smirk seeing that his new attire consisted in the complete opposite of his usual one except for his green scarf and what Yang thought was a simple glove.
"Mine usual ones got wet, what about you, does your usual one does not get you enough attention?" asked Drake as he stood up, it would have sound as if he was flirting with Yang if it wasn't because his usual demeanor.
"That depends, is it working?" asked Yang smirking as she narrowed her eyes looking for a reaction.
"Do you need help?" asked Drake ignoring Yang`s pout while he looked at Sun instead of Blake making her bow and eye twitch.
"Of course-"
"Not." Interrupted Blake not wanting to involve Drake risking him to have an attack of pain making Drake look at her and blink twice before he sighed.
"You better be calm and have your emotions in check with whatever the white fang is about to do." Replied Drake making her`s and Sun`s eyes to widen
"How did you?"
"You are predictable Blake, plus your reactions confirmed it." Said Drake while Yang stood next to Neptune who was looking pass him.
"So, any reason why you didn't attend to today`s classes?" asked Yang.
"I just didn't feel ok to go."
"Any especial plan for today?" asked Sun noticing the same thing as Neptune.
"Just a meeting with some friends." Replied Drake making Neptune suspicious.
"Then why do you have to take 5 blades to go to a friends meeting?" asked Neptune noticing the 5 blades that were lying on the bench, which Sun had also noticed and focused on the familiar 5th blade making him remember the docks.
"Are you in trouble again?" asked Yang while Drake just shook his head.
"No, there is nothing you need to worry really, besides I am not going alone." Replied Drake.
"Oh really, then who else is going? Ren?" asked Blake questioning if perhaps they were going to the same place.
Drake was about to answer when all of them heard a familiar woof making them turn around to see lambert running at him, he jumped and Drake easily catch him in mid air while Axl got closely behind him.
"Did he behave?" asked Drake while lambert licked his face.
"Yes, everyone loved him there, he also made their job far to simple." Replied Axl as he greeted everyone else.
"So what are you guys up to?" asked Axl looking specifically and Blake but Drake looked at him telling him to drop it.
"Whatever they do does not concern us, where are the rest by the way they are late." Replied Drake while Blake mentally thanked him for respecting her privacy.
"Beats me, maybe they are lost, you know how big this place is." Replied Axl remembering that X said he got lost when he came here.
"It is a big place now that you mention it."
Everyone turned to see Spider moving his hat as greeting.
"And Marino?" Spider smirked and eyes behind him making Drake turn around noticing his mistake to late.
'Oh no.' thought Drake as he felt a familiar softness press of his lips.
Spider and Axl shook their heads while the rest were perplexed seeing a woman older than him kissing him.
"You make this too easy you know" replied Marino as she eyed everyone else and stop looking at Sun making her walk to him.
"Do not even think about it." Said both Axl and Spider as they each put a hand on her shoulder stopping her while she tried to get free only to be envelop while Drake`s black chains also covering her mouth.
"We will wait for you over there." Replied Spider as she tried to get free while she was taking away.
"Forget it is impossible to get out of there!" shouted Axl while they swore she mumbled 'challenge accepted'.
"What a woman." Said Neptune gaining a hit on the stomach courtesy of Yang`s elbow.
"What was that about?" asked Sun not being able to move the moment she had begun to walk where he was.
"You have to forgive her, she tends to greet persons she likes that way following her Faunus instincts." Replied Drake and the looked at Sun, "Especially her own kind." Said Drake to Sun taking an step back surprised and truth to be told a little disappointed.
"She does not look to have control over them." Said Blake making all the present except Neptune look at her nor believing what she just said while they replied in unison, "You are one to talk." Replied everyone even lambert with barked with them making her realize that her curiosity had gotten the best of her many times making her blush in embarrassment looking at the ground while Sun tried to peek at her only to be elbowed by her.
"And she always greet you that way?" asked Yang with narrow eyes while looking at where Marino was trying to get free while Spider was laughing as hard as he could and the looking at Drake.
"Every time just for the fun of seeing react in some way with no luck so far." Replied Axl for him while Lambert jumped inside the hood.
"So far?" asked everyone making them think how many times has she done it.
"Yes, I have done at least 8 times and I have yet to crack that poker face." Everyone included the brothers turned around to see Marino giving a thinking pose.
"How the hell?" asked Axl as everyone turned where was formerly was to see spider on the floor surrounded by the chains while he tried to set free.
"Challenge accomplish." Replied Marino as she walked to Drake and put her hand around his neck and began to walk again, "I am afraid I don't have the time to meet you all personally since we are running late, so if you would excuse us it is time to go drinking!" said Marino with a cheerful voice as he looked at everyone else waving his hand saying goodbye while Axl took his blades from the bench and headed to where Spider was.
"Come on, we are also running late." Replied Blake as she remember their mission making everyone follow her while Yang eyes the look of the Faunus getting to close with Drake making her smirk, 'he actually does not care huh?'
"How the hell did you do that?!" shouted spider as he got free for the change and then followed everyone, "I am trained as a ninja remember?" that was everything she said while smirking.
"Everyone knows what you have to do?" Asked Drake getting their attention making the air of jokes change to a serious one.
"Axl and Me are going to the white fang meeting to confirm the FALZAs being there and then destroy then while we also talk with Axl`s contact." Replied Marino while Axl corrected her, "Friend." Said Axl making her wonder if putting his trust in a high-seated member of the White Fang was good.
"While me, Drake and Lambert go to investigate who made the shipment and ask about any other weird delivery." Replied spider while Lambert barked appreciating being included.
"Good." Replied Drake as they reached they hangar to reveal his car and Axl`s bike (AN: look for Axl`s figure bike on Google.).
"Before we go there is something I want to ask you 2." Said Axl referring to Spider and Marino.
"What did you tell Bullet?" asked Axl making Drake rise an eyebrow while the other 2 interchange looks, "We just told her about our mission from yesterday why?" asked both making it look like there was not any problem.
"Because she seems… how do I put this… worried with a mix of sentiment of a woman whose boyfriends got severely injured." Replied Axl now making everyone raise their eyebrows, "Explain." Said both hunters.
"When I went to pick Axl she was there waiting for me, she asked me if I was alright, then with out letting me even answer was checking my while body for injuries while making more questions, and finally looked at my face and kissed telling to be carefull and left leaving me dumbstruck."
"Forgive me since I have no experience in relationships, but isn't that what a girlfriend usually does?" asked Drake while the other 2 mentally thank him while Axl looked at him asking himself if Drake was being serious.
"You have seen her. She is not the kind of woman that worries like that, instead she would hit me and drag me and get the answer by force among many other things in that line."
"So, the way I see it she is always worried about you, only this time changed her approach, that is all." Replied Drake as he opened the door of his car and put lambert jumped in and then jumped to the back sits.
"But still why worried about what happened yesterday, it is not like if that was my first hard mission." Replied Axl while Spider opened the other door of the car to avoid looking at him while Marino putted on the extra helmet and closed the shades of it to avoid looking at his eyes.
"Then perhaps she is trying to take her relationship to the next step." Replied Drake while he entered the car knowing full that what he just said was complete bullshit.
"Have you met my girlfriend!?" shouted Axl as he sat on the bike with Marino behind him while he putted on the helmet.
"Then talk to her yourself instead of asking everyone else, now focus." Replied Drake as he closed the door and turned on the car.
"Ask yourself he says" mimicked Axl with the same expression as his brother as he turned on his own bike and immediately accelerated forward and eventually taking flight while Marino mentally thanked it ended there, for now at least.
Meanwhile Drake who had also started driving via earth to the city was eyeing Spider who was grateful for the same thing, something he noticed as he exit the academy grounds.
"What was that about?" asked Drake.
"Nothing important." Replied Spider with his own poker face on forgetting the fact that one of remnant`s best lying detector was sitting in the back as he barked making Drake look spider instead of the road.
"Thanks lambert, now were you saying?" asked Drake.
"It is nothing that involves you really." Replied Spider lambert barked again making him notice that Drake was speeding up still not looking at the road but him.
"Really?" asked Drake as car was in front of him but changed to the opposite road and pass it returning to his side before the incoming truck crashed with them.
"Before you answer, let me make clear that brother is the topic, something the both of you make clear, and since he is my family then it does involve, now talk before I accelerate even more while not looking at the road." Replied Drake making spider actually sweat a little.
"I cant." Replied Spider and this time lambert did not bark signaling there was a good reason for it shile making sure his seatbelt was on.
"Why not?" asked Drake as he began to look in front still not lowering the speed.
"X asked me not to."
Drake eyed lambert from the mirror to see him giving him a nod, "Then I guess I would have to ask him the next time I see him." Replied Drake really thanking lambert being back seeing through the lies of people.
"Aren't you going to slow down?" asked spider as he turned on the air conditioner.
"Why would I?" asked Drake making Spider look at him, "I always drive at this speed." Replied Drake as he pressed the accelerator more his face never changing while Spider saw lambert nodding through the front mirror.
"Great." Said Spider making sure once again his seatbelt was on.
LINBREAK
"Now this is my kind of place." Replied Spider as they walked to the entrance of Junior`s club.
"I figured." Replied Drake while the two men saw him and run to the club very fast.
"Looks like you are popular here." Said spider as he kicked the door of the place open it.
"It was not lock, you know?" asked Junior while all the man stood behind him with the sisters at the side of the 2 which Drake ignored and continue walking to Junior and dragging him to the counter.
"Is this about the information for the last time, I told you it was not accurate." Shouted junior while spider walked closely behind them making sure that the henchmen and twins understood they were not here for trouble.
"It was truth, that is why I am here for more information again seeing that at least your information is relievable." Replied Drake as raised and landed junior on the other side of the counter while Drake and spider sat on to his right.
"Ok… anything to drink first?"
Drake shook his head but spider asked for his best drink while Drake looked at him disapprovingly, "Relax it would only be a few, besides it would take a good amount to even start getting me drunk and you know it." Replied the hunter while junior gave him his drink.
"So what do you need?" asked junior making Drake look at him.
"A couple of weeks ago there was a delivery that arrived for the White Fang some weeks ago from a place call paradise lost, we want to know if there has been any other shipment from that place to other places besides the white fang?" asked Drake while Junior put his arm under his chin giving a thinking pose.
"…Isn't that the place that was… blown up… recently?" asked Junior between words while changing to look at the two sitting in front of him each with grim faces looking at him.
"Yes." Said both at the same with cold voices.
"Did you…"
"What do you think?" asked Drake knowing the question he was going to annoyance showing in his voice for not getting his information.
'Seriously, what is it with this guys and blowing high and expensive places. ' Though Junior remembering that Axl had done something similar.
"Ok, that Shipment you are talking about came indeed some weeks ago and it was the last they did except for another that happened some time before that one but I do not remember what it was."
"Not even what side it was?" asked spider while asking for another drink.
"No, although the last one were some huge boxes." Replied Junior as he gave Spider the drink while both hunters eyes each other.
'If there was any doubt it were the FALZAR it was now gone.' Though both.
"How many?" asked both.
"The last shipment? 3 if I remember correctly."
'This is not good.' Thought Spider.
"Certainly someone like you has a copy of the manifest of all the arrivals, can look for the one that came before?" asked Drake while junior grinned making Drake take out the same amount of lien he paid the last time and giving it to him which he took and then went to look for said manifest.
"Only that?" asked Spider taking a sip.
"He does not know how well paid we are." Replied Drake making him smirk while Drake took off his scroll.
"Who are you calling?"
"Marino, she analyzed the data of the FALZAR along with the department of weapons and engineer if I not mistaken, I am going to see if they found a weakness something tell me we are going to need them." Replied Drake.
LINEBREAK
Yellow with black bike arrived at good place to park stationing next to a black sports car.
"Come on, my friends is over here." Said Yang as she took of her helmet moving her head to feel the hair hitting her face and the top of her hair and the stood up from her bike to reveal a dizzy Neptune behind her.
"And wait exactly is here?" asked Neptune after he shook his bed several times before he noticed the car next to them.
"Sweet ride… hey Yang doesn't that symbol reminds you of a similar one?" asked Neptune but Yang didn't listened to him as she went to the door causing the men standing there to run inside.
'Why didn't I went with Weiss again.' Thought Neptune who forgot the idea quickly as he saw her move from behind.
'Then again the look it is not that bad.'
LINEBREAK
"So?" asked Spider as Drake put his scroll back on her pocket.
"Yes she has it covered." Was all he said making Spider notice the thinking pose adopted, something was troubling him.
"Here it is." Replied Junior before Spider could ask him what was it that troubled him as he put a small book in front of him, "All the manifest of the last month shipments with all the information needed." Said the man as he began to fix his tie while lambert that had been sleeping suddenly woke up and jumped from the hood making them look as he began bark at the door and then look at Drake.
"Someone I know?" asked Drake making Lambert gave a nod.
Not a second later the 2 man the were guarding the entrance came running and closed the door behind them and then leaned back on it to make force while they were shouting in terror, "She is back!" making junior get out of the counter to then see an explosion happening at the door making the 2 men fall and open it to reveal a familiar blonde.
"Guess who is back!" shouted Yang with a grim on her face raised her arm while she was surrounded by guns.
"Why the hell I am not surprised." Replied Drake covering his face, as he now knew that the girl that had trashed this place before Axl was Yang.
Drake turned back on his seat and lambert jumped on the counter between the 2 hunters, Drake handled the manifest to Spider signaling him take a look at it making Lambert also focus on the it as he eyed from Yang dragging junior on a similar way he did.
"This has to be for something more than a drink." Said Junior as he entered the other side of the counter while Yang sat next to Drake who she did not recognize until now as she examined who was sitting with her.
"Drake!" shouted Yang, "How small is the world huh?"
"I was about to say the same thing Yang." Replied Drake as Junior saw the interaction between the two.
"What got ditched?" asked Yang with a playful smirk and half opened eyes.
"You mean Marino, she went to Axl to another part." Replied Drake.
"So your brother is double timing huh?"
Drake gave an small chuckle, "That only would happen if he had a death wish, although I di not know why I feel that that Bullet is more what one would call a free spirit." Said Drake making Yang stay open mouthed.
"Are you saying what I think you are saying?"
"I don't know, what I am saying?" asked Drake on his poker face with a glint on his eyes which she noticed.
'Nice try but I am not the one that is going to be label as the pervert.' Thought Yang as she was interrupted by junior.
"You know each other?" asked Junior rather fearful and even more when they nodded and then resumed their talking.
"So what are you up to?" asked Yang as she watched both Spider whose name still he did not knew and lambert looking at something.
"Drinking of course, why else would I come here?" asked Drake as he moved to block the view behind her making her narrow her eyes.
"Then why don't you reek at alcohol?"
"Then how do you explain all the empty glasses on the counter." Motioning the glasses that spider had drank.
"Then why don't you reek of it." Said Yang, as she got closer and grabbed softly his left wrist for a complete second and saw as his eyes widened for another second to then suddenly stand up abruptly immediately and then look at spider ignoring and surprising Yang.
"I will be outside." Replied Drake.
"No need found it." Lambert barked after that, "We found it." Corrected Spider including lambert as he also stood up and gave the manifest to junior.
"Drake are you-"
"You also came here for a reason Yang, I suggest you to do it." Replied Drake as he began to walk pass Neptune that was now walking to their direction.
"We will talk about this?" shouted Yang with one of her usual smiles because she knew he would say yes in the end not expecting what he said next.
"No we are not!" shouted loud enough so she could heard making Neptune who had pass him turn back and look at him in surprise, he might only know him for a day but he did seem like the kind of person who was cold but really care about people so this looked weird on his eyes, he then turned around to see Yang with wide eyes.
She looked down for a few seconds and then turned around asking for strawberry Sunday with an umbrella, she first thought it was out of anger doing something he did not like, but she knew well enough to notice he the minimum change on his voice and knew it was not of anger what she heard but something different she had never heard on his cold or monotone voice.
She will have to force her way on him later (no pun intended), but he was right, she was here for something and she need to focus now, she only hoped the others were having it better than her.
LINEBREAK
Time: around the time Drake and Co entered the bar.
Adam stood on the second floor looking at the population below him while he had his from arms on the railings.
Today was one of the White fangs meeting along with the recruitment day, therefore the reason they were on a hangar.
He saw various Faunus some wearing the uniform while some were wearing civilian clothes; his thoughts were interrupted as he saw form a someone wearing the uniform and a woman with green hair wearing the mask coming closer as he noticed the for ears the woman had.
"Sir!" said the man standing firm and doing a salute with a firm voice, "Drop it Axl." Replied Adam as he took his hands from the railing and the man started to laugh slowly loosening his body.
"What gave me away?" asked Axl as he raised his fist.
"Only I know that way of carefree walking when not on a serious situation besides the fact that I did not hear your steps something I catch the days before the docks but also before no one call me sir." Replied Adam as he gave an small smile and raised his own fist bumping each other.
"Tukson sent his hi by the way." Said Axl, while Adam nodded, "Thanks for saving him by the way I hope he is doing fine in Vacuo although I did freak out a little after I saw the news of his death."
"Sorry about that, no better way to make someone wanted than to fake his death." Replied Axl as he took back his fist.
"Thanks for telling me about the place." Said Axl assuming a serious manner which Adam did the same as they leaned on the railings watching at the crowd below and saw the things covered, the 3 on the bag bigger than the one in the front.
"What can you tell me about the day those got delivery?" asked Axl.
"I was not here, but the ones who were told about a man with spiky electric blue hair and a mask along an scare on one of his eyes that made them feel fear of only looking at him."
"Scarface." Replied Marino from behind the 2 getting his attention for a second because Axl explained whom the man was.
"He is the right hand of one of the 3 big remaining factions of mavericks, him being here it was not good." Replied Axl making Adam grown at that.
"Are those all the ones he brought?"
"No, he only brought the e on the back the one in the front belong to our dear benefactor." Replied Adam telling the last part on with disgust.
"If you know Torchwick is aiding you why aren't you stopping or doing something about him?"
"Because as much as much he is the kind of human I hate the most I cannot forget our cause, my cause, the reason I am helping you with the mavericks it is because they are killing us with their experiments and clearly not care for the Faunus."
"Then why don't talk to the actual leader of the fang?" asked Axl in a low voice something he noted.
"Because he says that he did not know about this, and until I don't have a solid prof then to stop bugging him." Replied Adam.
"And you are trusting me a human to help you?"
"Of course, you are annoying but you are not so bad after a while plus you saved my life twice if I remember correctly when you did not have to that is good enough to call you my friend." Replied Adam with an small smile surprising Axl.
Axl was about to say something when Marino decided to interrupt.
"Jesus Christ make up already." Replied Marino making both turn around to look at her and could tell Axl was twitching behind the mask.
"We never got formally introduced I am Marino by the way." Said Marino as she walked to him.
"Adam Taurus." Replied Adam as he raised his arm, which she took and pulled him to her planting her lips on his making him stood froze while Axl just shook his head.
Marino would have continued the kiss has it not being for her scroll ringing making her grown stopping the kiss and look at the caller.
"It is your brother." Replied Marino as she walked away while Adam looked at him and then at her.
"Don't feel especial, she greets everyone she likes that way, has to do with her Faunus instinct so erase that smile." Replied Axl looking back to the first floor leaning once again to the railing in front of him, as Adam got closer and did the same not dropping the smile.
"Even you?" asked Adam processing what happened while Axl just chuckled.
"You have yet to meet my girlfriend, although she does leaves Marino greet her that way and which is very hot by the way." Replied Axl as he got his scroll.
"Is she like her?" asked Adam not referring as if she was a Faunus,
"You tell me." said Axl as he showed her a photo of Bullet.
"A ten out of ten huh." Said Axl while he nodded.
"She seemed like the kind that would like to experiment." Replied Adam as he looked back at the first floor.
"I am yet waiting for that kind of 3." Replied Axl while both laughed but Axl stopped as he saw something.
"You have got to be fucking kidding Me." said Axl.
"What?" asked Adam puzzled at the outburst of his friend.
"Someone that looks to look for trouble that might kill them." Said Axl as stopped leaning in the railing and looking at Adam while he tapped his shoulder, "Got to make sure they don't get killed, thanks to your help Jetstream." Replied Axl as he jumped down and began to make his way on the line of new recruits.
"What was that about?" asked Marino who came right in the moment Axl jumped, "beats me." replied Adam as she got next to on the same position as him.
"thanks and sorry." Said Marino suddenly making Adam look at her with confusion, "Why? Regretting the kiss".
Marino chuckled at that as she took the mask to reveal him his blue dark colored eyes looking solemnly at him surprising him.
"I am sorry because I thought about doubting you taking advantage of Axl`s friendship, but… after seeing you calling him your friend I did not see a single sign of lying there and that is why I thank you, and that`s what make decide that I like you, not only because we are the same." Said Marino not changing the look she was giving him.
"Is does this have something to do with that sudden change for a minute?" asked Adam.
"Yes, you are really lucky you know, there are only 3 persons he refers as friends, you another person on beacon and a maverick hunter who can be really shy at times." Said Marino that last one with a chuckle.
"What about you?" asked Marino making her shake her head, before he continued, "It is not something of coldness or something but something far more personal. Many years ago when Axl was 12 all the squad he was part of by exception of him and her girlfriend died."
"I see." Replied Adam and saw her shaking her head again
"No you don`t, the person that his squad, his first true friends were killed by one of their own making Axl go in a rampage destroying everything around him killing the traitor in the process but every time he stands on a mirror each day remembering that day like of it was yesterday thanks to that the permanent mark on his face that she put on his face." Replied Marino, while Marino Thought about the incidents of the hotel yesterday making her remember the cries of Axl after that incident, all of this while Adam now understood it was more of a sense of trust something he and only other 2 did.
"What about Drake?" asked Adam while Marino got closer.
"Oh he trust him alright, something tells me he experimented something similar in the past plus the recent event have not help him earthier, but even before all that the moment Axl confirmed who Drake was he knew deep down he could trust him because they were family, don't get me wrong he treats all of us with care but never to the level he talks to you. That is why-" Marino stopped for a second as she pulled an energy dagger millimeters from his throat not getting any reaction for him and she knew that even with the mask he was stoic about this.
"-If you betray his trust I will be the first one to get you, and believe better me than Bullet, and I expect that to happen eventually considering how the White Fang as been acting he will do his duty as a hunter, but he wont be able to pull the trigger with you, something I now you will do seeing your conviction with your group." Said Marino with dark cold blue eyes.
"I will-" stopped Adam suddenly as he grabbed the hand with the dagger and managed to put her against the railing with her in front of her very close to her face.
"-Never betray his trust, that will make me something as bad as those who mistreat us, if the time me Axl ever were to fight then I would fight him no doubt, but he is not willing to then neither will I, Maybe some else that is not related to him in any way, but trust me when I tell you that I don't want to lose my friend either, that I swear." Replied Adam surprising Marino as she noticed he was holding her weapon by the edge being burned slowly by the energy of it.
"I knew I would like you for another reason." Replied Marino smirking flirty as she deactivated her blade while Adam realized how close their faces were own moving his head back only to be stopped by Marino grabbing him from the clothes of his chest not letting him get away.
"Oh no, you already got yourself in this position might as well continue the work." Replied Marino as he got her face closer to her pulling him in a more serious kiss now surprising him which he returned after a while only to be interrupted by a great cheer making them realize that the demonstration had already started and for a good while by the looks of making Marino raise her head seeing backwards thanks to the position they were in while Adam did the same.
They had already revealed the atleasian paladin and had now revealed the three things behind it.
"Oh no." whispered Marino making Adam look at her to see her eyes widening and trembling.
LINEBREAL (after Axl jumped.)
"There are a big number of members here." Pointed out Sun looking around.
"This is nothing, this is not even a quarter of the members the white fang has." Replied Blake as they kept walking forward and saw the man that Blake recognized as the lieutenant stepping him beginning his speech.
"May I kindly ask-" asked a voice behind him as arm got around each of them pulling them making them look at someone wearing the uniform of the white fang "What the fuck are you doing here?" completed the estranger.
"Hum we are.. Joining the white fang?" said Sun between laughs while Blake recognized the little trace of line in the face of the man that was not covered by the mask.
"Axl?" asked Blake making Sun dumbfounded while the man nodded, "I piece of advice, you (Looking at Blake) hide your weapon the next time it gave you away, and you (Pointing at Sun) wear a different outfit, one of the man might recognize you." Scolded Axl at both making them feel like little kids.
"Who made you the expert of infiltrations?" asked Sun not liking how he was scolded.
"Oh, I don't know, the fact that I am a MH very well trained and one of the highest class oh oh oh or maybe the fact that one of my best specialties is infiltration and disguise or maybe! And probably the most important one-" said Axl as he pulled even closer in front of him while whispering loud the last part in their hears.
"Because I am the one wearing .OF THE, WHITEFANG!" whispered Axl as he pulled back next to him not letting them go.
"He does has a valid points." Said Sun perplexed behind the mask while Blake was the same.
"Now that you learned infiltration 101, lets see what is happening while I make sure you get the FOH alive in case go bad."
"FOH?" asked Blake, "Fuck Out Here." Said Sun making Axl nod as he motioned his head to pay attention and left them go while saying to stay close to him as they saw Torchwick stepping in and booed by every Faunus on that were not members yet.
"Looks like he is not very popular." Said Sun.
"Just you wait, he is the kind of bastard that know how to talk." Replied Axl as they saw in a minute it was just like Axl had said while he help in his mind an 'I told you so.' While thing got even better as he revealed the Atlesian knight.
"Drake is so going to have a field day with Ironwood for this." Said Axl chuckling making Blake question why was it good.
"And that is not all, we have yet another great benefactor aiding in our cause, and let me tell, if you thought the Atlesian Knight was something wait until you see this!" shouted Torchwick out loud and as if of an art of magic the 3 big covers from behind the knight fell themselves to reveal 3 complete FALZARS making all the Faunus on the room scream in amazement.
"Those are three times bigger than the knight!" shouted Sun while Blake nodded.
"Oh no." said Axl suddenly making both look at him while everything around him did not matter for him, the only thing he had in mind was the logo on the chest of the 3 giant birds a WL.
"Weil." Said Axl in low voice while Sun was shaking his shoulder trying to bring him back to reality.
"This is worst than we thought." Replied Axl as he put his hand over his head.
"Do you know anything about this?" asked Blake while Axl was having his own thoughts only for both to be interrupted by someone calling the new members.
"Guys… we are moving." Said Sun as they saw they were walking closer.
"Not only that, I am just going to say I told you so." Replied Axl as he saw Torchwick looking at their direction while calling some members of the WF and Axl in disguise to take them.
"Any plans?" asked Sun while Axl noticed Blake looking at her right side to see a fusil box.
"Do it, I am right behind you." Said Axl while Blake nodded and reached her Gambol Shroud, "What are you two planning?" asked Sun seeing that the men were getting closer.
"He can't see in the dark." Said Blake with an smirk looking at him and then shot at the fusil box shutting down the light if the place.
"Marino, I leave it in your care, May Monty has mercy on your soul if something happens to it." Said Axl while Blake shouted to head to the windows and also while he deactivate the camouflage he had on while following the 2 through the windows.
"Yeah yeah." Said Marino not really caring making Axl want to scold her but it was not the time as the moment the exited the window the knight soon followed then.
"How did you change so fast?" asked Sun as they jumped to a near rooftop.
"Seriously, that is what you are asking right now?" asked Axl as they were now jumping rooftop after rooftop making Sun realize it was indeed not the right moment while they heard something, a roar… 3 roars to be more exact.
"Please Monty no." replied Axl having a good idea what was that.
"Axl we have a problem!"
"No shit we have a problem!"
LINEBREAK (1 min ago)
"I suppose this is were we part ways." Said Marino in the dark while Adam nodded as they both saw the Knight piloted by Torchwick destroying a wall and heading out to chase after Axl.
"Who were those with him anyway?" asked Adam not being able see none while Marino just shrugged her shoulder and then stop as she saw 3 pairs of yellows eyes activate in the dark, something Adam also noticed.
"They are activating themselves!" shouted Marino as they 3 birds threw a roar and then headed out destroying the ceiling in the process.
Marino quickly throwing one daggers raised her arm and Adam could see a green light surrounding it, he then looked at the energy dagger she threw to see it multiplying and then each stabbing a part of the wall on the hangar and then create various lines of energy that connected with each other creating a net catching not letting any debris to fall at the people below that was now panicked at what happened.
"Those will only last 5 minutes so I suggest you to help evacuate now!" shouted Marino making Adam nod in thanks and then jumped down to do exactly that while Marino ran to the exit where Axl`s bike was while contacting him touching the hands free on her ear.
"Axl we have a problem!"
LINEBREAK
"Does any of you have I don't know… some form of backup!?" shouted Sun jumping another rooftop while Axl put his finger on the device on his head while Blake called her own back up team all of this while the MH eyed from behind the knight and the 3 giant red with gray birds.
LINEBREAK (a couple of minutes before.)
"Are feeling the effects of the wound?" asked spider at Drake who had his hands against his car with his head looking down.
"No, I took two pills this time and even spelt 6 hours so I shouldn't be suffering for the wound for a good while now." Replied Drake while spider was questioning then why did he react that way in the club.
"Was it because of the arm?" asked spider.
"… yes, lets kill it here what did you find?" asked Drake as he stood up and looked at spider who was now handling his scroll to see a picture of the page of the manifest.
"The shipment that arrived before the FALZARs only carried 4 small pots, lamentably it did not have an address nor the notes Junior put shows for who it was." Said Spider explaining the situation while Drake looked at the photo.
"It says someone picked up personally, perfect now we have 4 things if who knows what in the city." Replied Drake as he handed back the scroll to spider and then sighed.
"Lets go where the others are and report to X." replied Drake as he opened the door of his car.
"So it was your car after all!"
Both hunters and dog turned around to see Neptune with a smirk while Yang was whistling while spider noted how Drake`s eyes tensed at the site of the blonde beauty, the kind of look as if he did not want to see her making spider question himself why.
"Looks like someone is putting in good use the family inherence." Said Yang eyeing the car and then looking at Drake who put his left arm on his jacket pocket and then tried to enter the car only to be stopped by her who had grabbed him by his right arm.
"What was that about?" asked Yang while Drake narrowed his eyes, "Do you have someone trying to kill you again, because if that is the case I will be more than happy to save you ass again." Replied Yang with an smirk at that last part before she gave him a serious expression while Neptune and Spider where watching the interaction and comparing it to a couple fight.
"Have I someone or not after as how you put it 'my ass' you should be worrying about something else, what I do is not only personal now but also my job but I suggest you to drop it." Replied Drake as he forced his way out of her grasp only to be pushed against his own car to see Yang examining his eyes.
"… it is something else isn't it?" asked Yang making Drake as himself if he had become like Blake, predictable.
Thankfully for him or not his scroll along with spider`s and Yang`s began run making all of them look at each other before answering all at the same time.
Blake: everyone if you can hear me we need back up.
Sun: HEEEEELP! BIG ROBOT, REALLY BIG AND GIANT BIRDS.
Both spider and Drake looked at each other at the mention of birds while lambert was looking now at the entrance of the parking lot for some reason while Yang had hopped on in her motorcycle.
Axl: Drake! I suppose you were able to hear monkey boy!
"Yes we did," said Drake while he heard Sun in Yang`s scroll giving an explanation of what was happening.
"Where are you guys?" asked both Drake and Yang at the same time when Lambert began to bark repetedly getting their attention to see Sun and Blake running pass the parking lot while being chased by a big robot.
Spider looked at Drake who was surprisingly wide eyed but then quickly threw the keys of his car at him, which he catch.
"Don't even a scratch spider, Lambert!" shouted Drake as lambert changed to Grimm form and Drake hopped in and began to go after them.
"Did that puppy just turned into a Grimm?" asked Neptune who was sitting behind Yang while Spider was entering in the car, "Yes he did." Replied Yang as they also chased after them.
LINEBREAK
Axl, Sun and Blake had reached the highway while being chased by the Atlesian Knight while the FALZARS had disappeared all of the sudden giving a bed feeling to the hunter.
"Axl!"
Said hunter turned around to see Drake on lambert while he had Ruben Mors unleashed as he charged pass the knight slashing a little of his legs making him lose balance and speed for a short while.
"And the FALZARs?" asked Drake as lambert was now standing next to the car lambert was on giving him chance to jump to the Grimm while he saw that the giant robot was pushing every car out of the way.
"They disappeared all of the sudden!" shouted Axl as he sat looking at the knight with guns drawn ready to shot only to be beaten by Neptune who had make several shots with what it look like were electrified projectiles making the knight once again lose balance.
Axl then saw how he stood up from his sit and changed the gun to a glaive and then jumped from the bike with his weapon raised to attack while the weapon now changed to a trident impaling the knight and getting stuck on it.
"Neptune hang on!" shouted Sun as he stood looking at the Knight and then clapped his hands together to create 2 yellow astral copies of himself that then charged at the robot crashing with barely doing anything to it making Sun pull off his staff and jumped at it not expecting that the knight to mange to threw Neptune at Sun causing the first to crash with the former throwing them our of the highway.
"Goddammit, Lambert after them!" shouted Drake as he and Axl jumped of lambert while Axl put wind of on his foots and then began to move like if he was skating while Drake did the same except he used his darkness as source while Lambert sheathed Ruben Mors and then jumped out of the highway and Drake and Axl got pass by the knight putting them behind it.
"Lets take care of this thing fast and then we can-!" Axl who was skating next to Drake while Yang drove next to them, was rudely interrupted by 3 roars making them look to their right to see three giant birds flying over the high way.
"-Hunt the FALZAR." Finished Axl while Yang looked at them, "What the hell were those?!"
"Our mission." Replied Drake as he saw Weiss jumping on the highway with her Myrtenaster stabbing the ground covering the floor with ice making the combat suit slide his way out of the highway while Drake created an small ramp so they did not step on the ice and then stopped once the pass it.
"Me and Axl will take care of those, you and your team take care of that thing." Said Drake to Yang, Blake and Weiss which all nodded and the last 2 jumped out of the highway while Yang was about to drive to secure her bike and then head out but noticed the look Drake was giving her.
"Be careful." Was all he said as Axl took him for a fly making her wonder what was going on with him.
LINEBREAK (With lambert and co)
"I told you to hold on!" shouted Sun as they were falling into their imminent demise.
"Not my fault." Shouted Neptune as he saw the ground getting closer making his eyes widen only see a big black blur right below them making them land on it.
"What the?" asked Neptune as he noticed he was in top of lambert while Sun was sitting ahead of him.
"Lambert you black flurried bastard you are the best Dog/Grimm one could ask for!" shouted Sun while Neptune looked at him not believing what he was seeing.
"You know this Grimm!" shouted Neptune as Lambert kept running while growing making Sun give his friend a scold.
"Hey! He is sensible of that be more respectful man he just saved us!" shouted Sun as he looked forward while he asked lambert if he could take them back to the others while Neptune was about to argue again only for lambert roughly move making both stumble a little as a shot pass through them making them look behind to see members of the white fang driving trucks and bikes all of the armed making Sun remember what Axl had said about infiltration and disguises but decided to stay quiet about it since technically it was his fault they were being chased now.
"You were going to say?" asked Sun as he now sat looking the other way around with guns prepared while Neptune did the same, "Ok I got it he is a cool dog!" shouted Neptune as they began to shot at the members of the White Fang with Neptune having better success thanks to his fire power but still there were a lot of them and lambert changing ways to avoid the shots was not helping their aim although it was for a very good intention.
"There is no end to this guys!" shouted Sun as he was now reloading his gun but was interrupted as Lambert began to bark taking the attention of both.
"What is he trying to say!?" shouted Neptune who was still shooting while Sun threw and offended look.
"Just because I am a Faunus does not mean that I can talk with animals." Said Sun being that the way he saying 'I don't know'
"A simple I don't know would have worked just fine!" shouted Neptune as Lambert did a sudden turn making Neptune almost fall from him.
"What`s the big deal?" asked Neptune as he turned around to notice they were entering once again to the red district making him wonder why until he saw the warning signs of construction ahead.
"Now I see."
"What now are you the one that talks animal?" asked Sun while Neptune ignored him and told him to change sits making him wonder why but did not complain as he noticed that they were entering on a sector that was being constructed for the expansion of the red district.
"You think he is planning on losing them there?" asked Sun as Neptune saw they were heading to an hangar were various machinery and tanks of oil were kept.
Soon after the members of the WF that were chasing them reached the hangar and stepped down of their vehicles.
"Look for them, that traitor to our kind came here and eyes up for that Grimm." Said the one that looked like the leader with rifles up pointing around the dark hangar while he motioned his men to scatter around as they each turned on their lantern.
Three of the members of the white fang were looking around some boxes that contained constructive material and stopped at the sound of whining making them stay up guard as they reached the corner and looked with their weapons prepared to see a blue puppy looking at them with teary eyes making them lower their weapons not expecting what happened next.
"Shoot him shoot him!" those were the sounds that many members could heard in another part of the hangar followed sound of shoots that then stopped making some of the men ran to where the shoots came only receive a massive plate that came flying after seeing a vague blue electric light.
"What the hell is going on!?" shouted the leader as the remaining men were reaching the place where the first disturbance occurred only to stop at the yellow light that was coming from another side making the men go there instead only two see 2 golden figures standing there and then charged at them.
"Shoot!" said the leader as the remaining once did as ordered making astral projections disappear and then see that behind them were a good number of barrels that read flammable.
"Get the hell out of here!" shouted the leader as he drooped his weapon and ran to the entrance wile his men did the same barely managing to stay save of the explosion but the impact of it did caught them sending them flying and destroying the vehicles they had parked in the entrance.
The leader dizzy and confused of what was going on managed to acknowledge his surroundings as he saw that the men that were with him laying unconscious nest to him while the others that had also entered were feet's away from him also in the same way.
"Better luck next time assholes." Shouted Sun making the leader look in the direction of the voice to see the black Grimm from before with the 2 they were chasing getting away at great speed making the man shout in frustration.
"Nice plan Neptune!" shouted Sun who was sitting first with Neptune Behind him.
"I just thought of a good plan, it is thanks to him who gave me the idea." Said Neptune referring to lambert who barked in thanks of the complement.
"Now why don't we-" Sun`s word were cut short as they saw a purple explosion coming from the above the clouds.
"What was that?" asked Neptune.
LINEBREAK (THE MOMENT Drake AND Axl TOOK OFF.)
"Any ideas because I am getting short here!" shouted Axl as they were now above the clouds fighting the 3 giant birds with no luck in making damage since neither the blades went profound enough or the bullets and energy projectiles were absorbed making Axl remember these used the same cores as the androids they fought in that cursed resort.
"No, the best thing we can do is try to keep them together or wait for Marino!" shouted Drake who was flying next to Axl who was using the wind for it.
"How are we going to do that if they kept their distance from each other, and besides-" shouted Axl as an incoming laser attack almost him them followed by a super sonic missiles barrage from another that Axl barely manage to divert with the wind and the continue talking, "- with those freaking surprise attacks coming from the clouds and what can Marino do in this situations anyway"
"That is because they are using the clouds as an snipping point!" shouted Drake as he noticed something, "Where is the third attack?" asked Drake making Axl wonder the same thing as a massive bird with his mouth open with a purple ball on it`s head signaling it was going to shoot appeared from the nearest cloud they were.
"Damn!" shouted Axl as he and Drake created each a wave force with their respective elements pushing each other away from each other successfully avoiding the surprise attack but losing the concentration to kept Drake flying with him seeing him fall in the sky as not one but two of the birds followed him.
"Brother!" shouted Axl as he was about charge at him but was stopped when another beam of purple light came on his way barely avoiding it.
"You focus on that one, I will keep this two busy!" shouted Drake via hands free and then terminated the communication making him growl at that since he thought that if they worked together like the last time they would stand a chance but then thought how different the scenario was.
He focused where the last shot came from to see that once again there was nothing there but then his attention changed at the sudden change of the wind from another side making him look to see another barrage of missiles coming at him making him shot with both guns destroying them not expecting for the giant bird to hide behind the explosion completely surprising him as he was about to hit him just feel someone pulling him by the collar of his jacket at great speed almost chocking him on the process.
"That was a close one." Said Marino who was riding Axl`s bike and then sat him in the passengers office.
"No shit, but could have worn me next time!" shouted Axl as thee FALZAR began to chase them while shooting them both lasers and Missiles.
"Oh forgive me for saving you ass." Said Marino calmly as she did a great amount of evasive maneuvers incredibly avoiding all the incoming attacks.
"Drake said to wait for you which makes me thing you have a sort of plan" said Axl trying to calm down as Marino put her hand up to reveal several daggers.
"Please tell me you have something better than just that."
"These are customized daggers made by none other than our little genius thanks to the data we got yesterday." Said Marino while Axl tried to grab one with she did not let him.
"Sorry, but we are doing this my way, even Drake agrees with my plan." Replied Marino making Axl wonder when did they talk about this but then he remembered that he had call her while he was catting with Adam.
"Ok, I listen." Replied Axl as he noticed that the bird was gone probably hiding once again in the clouds making him focus on the change of the wind in case of something while she heard Marino.
"I need to have a clear shot on the chest." Said Marino holding an evil smirk that he did not saw because of him focusing in any incoming attack.
"Just gave me the chance and went I tell you a I need you to get serious Axl." Replied Marino with a more serious tone this time making him understand that he was not kidding about the serious part making him just nod as he felt the change he needed.
"Be prepare." Was all he said as he jumped from the bike and began to fly at certain direction to only avoid another purple laser and then charged to the cloud making Marino stay stationed in the air waiting for her chance that was disguised by a sudden roar followed a the FALZAR coming from the clouds struggling for the massive sky blue claws that were around the wings of the bird while a now red eyed Axl tried hold himself and not lose concentration since his energy was being drained by the mare contact of it.
Marino in the other hand had an evil grin on her face as she speeded up in the bike as she prepared three daggers for her move.
"Don't lose that hold!" shouted Marino giving Axl a bad feeling of how she said while she threw the 3 daggers that then speeded up on their own while Marino used her semblance on the way generating more of those perfectly impaling them all in various parts of the frontal area of the bird not missing a single one.
Axl did not know what had she done but the energy absorption had stopped making him relax as his energy slowly regenerated by itself while he noted that the whole armor was now cracking and rusting making it very fragile.
"I don't know what does daggers did but he is no longer draining my energy. What now!?"
"Jump!"
"Jump? why the hell would I jump?" asked Axl as he climbed his way ahead of the screaming bird that had little strength making his eyes widen at what he was seeing.
'Why isn't she slowing down?' thought Axl in panic as Marino was going faster by the second with her signature fox smirk on her face.
"You wouldn't dare!"
"Oh really! Just be sure to catch me!"
He regretted those words he had said as she used her semblance on herself leaving a copy on the drive`s sit making Axl realize she was not bluffing making him dispel the claws and jump from the back of the bird and them make sure that the original Marino stayed on the air only to heat an explosion behind him not really wanting to look back as he got closer to Marino.
"Why did you have to do it?" asked Axl with crimson eyes burning in fury while she still had that very same smirk on her face making him even angrier while she just pointed in the direction of where the bird was making him turn around.
He was surprised to see the chest area was completely exposed revealing the familiar core in Physical stage on the center of it.
"I suggest you not to the shot and do it quickly because it will recover." Said Marino in an amused voice as the eagle charged after Axl making him leave Marino on a solid cloud while charged at the air.
The FALZAR who was now slowly recovering chased after him who was going full speed in the sky while the familiar sky blue color and another orange-brown began to concentrate on his back beginning to take form of a pair of massive dragon like wings making him go even faster up and then stood at a great distance from his enemy as he raised heaven which was now cracking with blue electricity while his chain was now glowing.
"Lighting Gugnir." Whispered Axl as he pulled the trigger to reveal a really slim shot that went at a great speed that passed through the head to the chest finally going through the core generating a purple explosion completely disintegrating the FALZER.
Once it was gone Axl went to where Marino was who was laying on the cloud as if nothing happened.
"The daggers stopped the flow of the energy absorption and decomposed the hard dust infused metal leaving fragile, all what was needed is a good impact to crack it open and for you do the rest, have in mind that it was only temporal and that the metal would have regenerated completely." Explained Marino as if she hasn't done anything wrong.
Axl wanted to argue about that but it was not the time, "Stand we still need to take care of another 2 of those and since Drake has Hell`s explosive ability we can use that after you use those daggers." Replied Axl while Marino shook her head.
"Don't tell me you used all?"
"Nope, Drake has his own weapon to deal with them, one that uses a different kind o energy that the regular ones, it is up to him if he uses it or not." Said Marino as she stood up on the cloud making Axl if she meant the cannon on his left arm but discarded it since she knew that it was completely forbidden and only as a last resort, which make him look at her in realization.
"Purgatory." Whispered Axl making Marino gave a smirk as they heard another familiar explosion happening below them, only this one was louder.
LINEBREAK (The moment after Drake cut communication with Axl.)
He didn't like this plan, no; he hated it since he didn't know if he would be able to pull it off.
He was creating small black platforms to jump to another quickly avoiding the lasers and sending his 4 blades to any incoming missile all of this while he tried to make them closer to each other with little luck giving him only one reckless idea followed by his original plan that was already bad on his book.
He took heaven and hell backwards in each hand and charged at one of the birds while closely avoiding it`s beam to then quickly threw both blades in each wind with enough strength to make sure it stayed there.
He then used a platform to jump back at the direction the other one was luckily for him was charging at him with the intention of eating him which make him create two small platform where he used his hands to jump above it at the last second and the quickly take Light and Darkness stabbing in it on the center of his back not letting go of the blades nor making direct contact either as he tried not to tried not to lost of hold of them.
The one he was riding was currently trying to get free from Drake with little luck, while the dragon saw the other getting closer to them with the intention of getting him of without having to destroy each other making him realize that although the could not touch each other they were designed to fully cooperate with the other, making things a little simpler for him.
He let go of both blades and created his claws as fast as he could and then pushed each one to the other making the draining of each other begin, he then dispelled the claws and created various set of chains all of them connected to one of the blades that then connected with each other making sure they did not get away.
The easiest part was now done, now it was time to face his own fear, to use the blade that belonged to his own and yet wounded him without repair.
He saw as the two giant birds fought each other trying to get free and by the looks of it they were going to do it by the way some of the chains were beginning to break leaving him no time to doubt as he stood in the last black platform he would stand on for the night.
Vile was a considered one of the best hunters according to X, but he was just that a hunter, a human in the most racist of cases, which meant that he should not have that level of power when they fought, and the only reason for that power up was none other than Zero`s blade, a blade that did not represent neither light or darkness, and a blade that gave a power up to whoever hold it as long it`s mind was strong enough for not lose it.
I having that in mind Drake forgot of everything else around him, every emotion, every feeling that he had at the moment, only focusing in two things him and his objective.
He closed his eyes and took and began to draw the blade with his left hand already beginning to feel the power of it while it began to earn a light green color, he slowly opened his eyes to reveal the familiar crimson like color in his slit stage, he was so focus that he didn't notice that the chain around his neck and the one on his left arm were glowing.
But what he did felt was the sudden accumulation of energy on his back taking the form of a black dragon wing on his right side.
He took flight and stood a good few feet's away from his objective.
He raised the blade and waved it a little before he charged at his objective and whispered only two words while doing it.
"Dragon Claw."
He slashed through his objective leaving a visible green line appear the moment he make the swing phasing through it soon followed by the 2 birds splitting in two by the half successfully destroying the cores that soon after generated an explosion.
LINEBREAK
"YAAAAAH" shouted Yang as she landed a solid fist to the Atlesian knight completely dismantling it to reveal none other than Roman Torchwick standing up from it`s rest.
"I just cleaned the damn thing!" said Torchwick as he looked up to see something he did not expect, "You have to be kidding me!" shouted Torchwick making all the members of team RWBY to see a giant explosion happen on the air while white with black blur descended from the sky at high speed and then landed on the ground not to far from them to reveal none other than Drake.
But all of them were surprised when they saw the black like dragon wing on his back which disappeared the moment he sheathed the green blade making him also change the color of his eyes to his usual one while from the sky fell his other 4 blades all being stabbed in the ground around him.
"So much for destructive power." Said Torchwick as he saw the 4 blades picked up themselves and began to circle around him Drake.
Yang being the first that recovered from what happened focused back on Torchwick shooting at round at him that was intercepted by a new comer.
A woman with pink and brown hair, with one eye of color pink while the other one was brown.
"Ladies, ice queen (HEY!)… Drake." Said Torchwick looking last at the person he was told not to get close as Yang charged once more only for her to hit to what in Drake`s opinion looked like a mirror after image giving roman and the woman he called neo time to escape via airship.
"I guess he has a new henchman." Said Yang
"Yeah, I guess she really make our plans… fall apart." Replied Weiss throwing pun that made Ruby chuckle while the other two did not like it one bit.
"No." said Yang.
"Why? You do it all the time." Replied Yang turning around only to see Drake with all blades sheathed walking where the fallen knight was while giving her quick glance and looked relieved for some reason.
"Well at least I try." Said Weiss while he saw Drake took off his scroll and began to take pictures of the Atlesian knight.
"Where are a Sun and Neptune?" asked Ruby making Blake and Yang look at Drake, "Last I saw them was when they were thrown out of the highway while Drake sent lambert after them." Replied Yang making Ruby`s widen a little.
"They must be alright, you don't need to worry much." Said Drake for the first time while he put his scroll back on his jacket.
"Why were you taking pictures?" asked Blake not liking the idea of what they did, then again she knew he would not tell anyone.
"Because you 4 have once again prove that tin head invention are a failure." Replied Drake as he walked to them while he saw his car getting closer.
"Tin Head?" asked all while Blake managed to put the pieces together thanks to what had said Axl.
"You mean general Ironwood?" asked Blake while Drake just nodded and stopped as he looked at something.
"… what happened to that support?" asked Drake making them look the place where Yang had been slammed against while Axl and Marino landed next to him.
"Oh, nothing much, just me being punched against it and then standing up like if nothing happened." Replied Yang with clear pride in her voice as she saw him looking again with incomprehensible eyes something that was annoying her.
"Anything ok?" asked Axl whose eyes were still crimson making them note that this was the first time they had seen him like that and making note that he looked more angrier than Drake ever did.
"Yeah…" was all Drake said as walked to his car while Blake noted he was becoming paler at the second something Yang did not.
"Wait!" shouted Yang as she stood in front of him.
"What is wrong with you, one moment you shush me away, then worry about me and now you are giving me that look, what is wrong?" asked Yang with clear concern.
"Nothing you need to worry." Replied Drake as he passed her making her going to reach for him only to stop by Axl.
"I suggest you all to go, the authorities are coming and I presume that you do not want to be found here correct?" asked Axl looking at Yang`s lilac eyes making her give an step back at Axl red ones and then eyeing Drake who entered the back sit of the car soon followed by Axl and Marino.
Yang only looked as they all got on the car and then drive away.
"He is right you know. We do need to get out of here." Said Weiss as they began to get out of the scene while Yang just looked at the car and then only for pure coincidence at Blake who was pressing her fist.
LINEBREAK
"This does not look good." Replied Colonel who was sitting in X`s office.
"Not only Epsilon`s faction but also Weil`s working together, it is only a matter of time before Doppler also jumps into the equation." Continued the man.
"Not only that, we do not know in which faction is she playing for and also the fact that they are being way to coordinated." Replied X giving the man a bad feeling.
"Where are you going with this?" asked Colonel.
"There are the factions of maverick, all very powerfull in their own way but none of the matter all of their leaders are the kind that hates to work with the other, which means-"
"There is a 4th party in the shadows." Said Colonel making X nod his head.
"But who could be the leader of it? Who can be strong enough to subjugate the other 3?"
"I am afraid I do not know," said X as he sighed, "Our enemies are getting smarter." Replied X.
"What about that informant of yours, does he know anything about this?"
"Probably, but he only calls when he feels he needs to." Replied X in clear annoyance as the rubbed his nose.
"At least the mission was a success." Replied Colonel as he stood up, "I have prepared the parties to assault the places we found, with that at least that is going to leave a big impact on them." Said colonel making X nod and then head out of the office leavening him alone in his office.
X stood up and picked his blade from where it was, he drew the blade for a second to see it was shinning faintly making him sigh seeing that things were going to become more troublesome now.
LINEBREAK
Drake opened his eyes slowly as he recognized the ceiling of his own room.
"you only slept for one and half hour this time." Replied a voice making Drake sat on his bed to see Axl eating bowl of ramen that lambert had brought him while Drake noticed his brother`s eye were still red while lambert was sleeping on his personal bed.
"Still angry about the bike?" asked Drake.
The moment they got in the car and began to get away Drake began to feel the effect of the wounds making him take the pill making him fall sleep soon after with his brother shouting at Marino about his bike.
"Don't even get me started, I still cant believe you told her to do that!"
"I did not, I only said do whatever is necessary, how was I suppose to know she would do that." Said Drake calmly as he got up from his bed and headed to exit the room.
"Hold it." Said Axl getting his attention.
"What was that with Yang, also spider told me about your behavior on the club, and do not say it was because you were afraid of her finding out about your arm because he does not seem to think so." Said Axl pointing at a sleeping lambert.
Drake just stood there looking at his little brothers eyes and then raised his left arm looking at it.
"So?" asked Axl waiting for an answer.
"I saw it." Was all Drake said.
"Huh?"
"The moment she touched the arm something happened, the scenario of the bar changed to a complete different one, everything was in white and black and the only that I could see was the image of Yang being slammed against one of the supports of the highway and then not standing up."
"Where are you going with this?" asked Axl as he brother leaned against the wall and sat on the floor.
"At the beginning I freak out and headed out of the club to thing about it, I thought it was an effect of the wound but it looked so real, that and the fact that she was wearing the same clothe."
Drake took a deep breath before he continued.
"And everything got worse the moment I saw the Atlesian knight making the feeling even worse, I would have wanted to go and help them but with those 3 in the air I knew where was I needed." Replied Drake.
"That is why when you landed and saw her alright you were relieved?" asked Axl.
"Yes, I was truly happy she was ok, but then it all changed when I saw the support destroyed in the same way as before making my vision became reality." Replied Drake.
"You surely didn't finished seeing the end of the vision." Said Axl.
"That is not what is wrong Axl, I am happy she is ok believe me, but now I am worried of the vision itself, why did I have it." Said Drake with clear concern.
"Lets call X perh-" Axl didn't finish the sentence as he saw purgatory beginning to levitate.
"What the hell?" asked Axl as he and Drake stood up.
Drake took the blade hesitantly and drew it out of it`s sheath to see the blade glowing and the shutting down repeatedly.
"It is resonating." Whispered both brothers quietly as Drake eyes were now red.
They did not know what to think of this but knew the meaning of it.
The twin blade of Purgatory was close.
"Pandemonium." Whispered Drake.
AN: happy to announce that it is going to be the last time I write a complicated fight scene.
Axl`s domain is also the sky therefore he can use lighting but only when he is focused meaning red eyes and it also like that for the other sub elements of his domains.
Also I hope you enjoyed a little of his backstory.
Next chapter is an original one before the arraignments of the dance.
